2  DIELECTRIC STRENGTH TEST 10VA 
 
XS16 (10kVDC) 
Output voltage 
 
  Continuous voltages only 
  From 100VDC to 10kVDC in one range.  
  Stability < 3% for V mains of 10%. 
  Negative pole to earth with DC voltage 
  Ripple < 0.1% for Is ≤ 1 mA  
  Accuracy  of  the  output  voltage  :  (2%+20volts)  in  relation  with  the  set  value  for  voltages 
between 100 and 10000 volts and for a current < 100µA.  
  Discharge of the tested specimen and of the internal capacitor through a 1.5 M resistance 
Voltage reading 
 
  By kilovoltmeter directly connected to the output terminals. 
  Accuracy : (1%+10 volts) of the read value. 
  Display by 2000 points digital indicator. 
 
Short circuit current 
 
  ≤ 1 mA for voltages between 100V and 10kVDC. 
 
Breakdown detection 
Current variation mode : I 
 
The  TEST  detector  automatically  carries  out  the  subtraction  between  the  current  which  flows 
normally in the device under test (I=U/Z) and the one which occurs at the time of a fault (I'=I+Ifault). 
  Amplitude fixed to 1 mA 10%. 
  Width of current pulse : 10µS 20%
